Trip Reports
Although my detailed birding notes were intended to replace episodic 'trip reports', these can still better convey the excitement of birding in this area. Accordingly, I have listed some of the more useful trip reports (plus some of my own!) below. This list is not comprehensive (and excludes any prior to 2000) but should give you a good feel for birding in Cadiz province (and beyond).
If you've written up a report on birding in the area please let me know so I can add it to the list. Alternatively, send me a copy to put on my blog
My Trip Reports
I have rather neglected ‘publishing’ my trip reports on favour of writing my notes up as a general guide to the area. However, trip reports, all based in Alcala de los Gazules, can be found on my old blog at http://alcalabirding.blogspot.com
In addition some can also be can be viewed at:

Otherwise contact me and I will email more trip reports I have ‘on file’.
